I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
The ole hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love

Does my lover feel what I feel when he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully you'd think that he could hear?
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love

Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know
Tammy, Tammy can't let him go
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low
Tammy, Tammy you love him so

When the night is warm, soft and warm
I long for his charms
I feel like a violin if I were in his arms

Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
